Revelry, Islamic Style

As revelers greeted the new year in Cologne, Germany, an estimated 1000 Muslim immigrants assembled at the train station, from which gathering point they sexually assaulted scores of women. In response, Cologne Mayor Henriette Reker proposed issuing online instructions for the female citizenry, so they will be prepared for the inevitable sexual assaults in their future.

According to Mayor Reker:

“The women and young girls have to be more protected in the future so these things don’t happen again . . .. This means they should go out and have fun, but they need to be better prepared, especially with the Cologne carnival coming up. For this, we will publish online guidelines that these young women can read through to prepare themselves.”

At the moment it remains unclear what preparations the mayor has in “mind” -leaning hard on the metaphorical. Here are a few possibilities:

Make sure you’re on the Pill

Wear clothing that can be easily removed without damage, so you’ll have something to cover yourself with, post-assault

Bring pads to absorb the blood and DNA evidence on your way to the hospital and / or police station

Have your (illegal) hand gun, and an extra clip or speed-loader, handy at all times

Remember to bring along your shoulder-mounted grenade launcher

Stay inside your armored personnel carrier

Later reports have indicated that Cologne was not the only German city where such mass sexual assaults took place, but that Muslim immigrant men spent New Year’s eve raping and otherwise assaulting women in a number of cities.

As reported by Breitbart, a German woman identifying herself as Tanja insisted that

No one is talking about the fact that this is happening to women every day,” . . .

“People are insisting on making this a political story, trying to shift the focus on pro or anti refugees. But in fact, no one is listening to what we have to say – the women – who suffered from this violence in the streets on a daily basis long before refugees even came here.

But the problem can be summed up in the words of British political activist Anne-Marie Waters, “It’s true, women are abused everywhere, but in most countries it’s against the law. In Islamic states, it is the law.”

And it seems like becoming the law wherever Muslims make their homes.

UPDATE:

The Cologne police are reporting (Jan. 10) that the number of cases of New Year’s Eve violence has reached 516, with 40% related to sexual violence.

In Austria, several women from Salzburg have reported being sexually assaulted on New Year’s eve. Police have arrested three men whom they describe as Syrian and Afghan nationals.
